Illinois K-12 Education Expense Credit

My child is enrolled in all day kindergarten at a public school. I had to pay a registration fee as well a fee for them to attend All Day kindergarten ($1500 for ADK and $90 registration fee). Our these fees eligible for the K-12 Illinois Education Expense Credit on my IL state taxes?

If the expense was required for the care of your child, you can include the fee as it is not listed an ineligible.

Reference:  What education expenses do not qualify for the K-12

Thank you for your reply but I am even more confused now. My child attends a PUBLIC school K-5. In order to attend Full Day Kindergarten the fees are required. $90 for registration and $1500 for All Day Kindergarten. This isn't care for my child, it is for education 🤔

I think there was a typo in the prior reply.  If the expense NOT for care of your child, it is not listed as ineligible.
